S.C. Code Ann. § 26-5-320
Application of section to laws requiring written records; exceptions
(A) An electronic record satisfies any rule of law requiring a record to be in writing or providing consequences if it is not in writing.
(B) This section does not apply:
(1) to the extent that its application would result in a construction of law that is clearly inconsistent with the manifest intent of the lawmaking body or repugnant to the context of the same rule of law. However, the mere requirement that information be "in writing", "written", "printed", "signed", or any other word that purports to specify or require a particular communication medium, is not by itself sufficient to establish such intent; or
(2) to any record that serves as a unique and transferable physical token of rights and obligations, including negotiable instruments and other instruments of title where possession of the instrument is deemed to confer title.
